In a Restaurant Finance role, your daily tasks may include monitoring cash flow, preparing and analyzing financial reports, overseeing accounts payable and receivable, and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. You’ll often collaborate closely with restaurant managers and leadership to review budgets, track inventory costs, and identify opportunities to improve profitability. Additionally, you may conduct variance analysis between actual performance and forecasts to guide operational decisions.

These competencies enable you to ensure accurate financial reporting, support strategic decision-making, and drive profitability in a fast-paced hospitality environment.

Compensation: $100,000–$120,000
Location: Greenwich Village area, NYC (On-site 5 days/week + monthly Long Island site visit)


About the Opportunity

A fast-growing hospitality and entertainment group is seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Controller to oversee financial operations across multiple business entities in a dynamic, high-volume environment.

This organization operates several established hospitality and entertainment-related businesses and is entering an exciting growth phase with a major expansion planned later this year.

This is a unique opportunity for a financial leader who thrives in entrepreneurial environments and enjoys building systems that support long-term growth.

Position Overview

The Controller will oversee accounting and financial operations across multiple related entities, ensuring accurate reporting, streamlined systems, and scalable financial processes.

This role requires a strong operator who can manage day-to-day accounting while helping create structure and efficiencies that support continued expansion.


Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee full-cycle accounting across multiple business entities
  • Manage bookkeeping, reconciliations, and month-end close
  • Oversee payroll processing and financial accuracy
  • Prepare financial reports and consolidated reporting for ownership
  • Maintain and optimize QuickBooks systems and workflows
  • Build and improve internal accounting processes and controls
  • Manage accounts payable, vendor payments, and cash flow tracking
  • Ensure financial accuracy across multi-location operations
  • Support growth initiatives by implementing scalable financial systems
  • Partner directly with leadership to improve reporting visibility and operational efficiency


Required Qualifications

  • Expert-level QuickBooks experience
  • 5+ years of progressive accounting/controller experience
  • Strong multi-entity accounting experience
  • Hospitality industry accounting/finance background required
  • Payroll and bookkeeping expertise
  • Experience improving financial systems and processes
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Self-starter with a hands-on, solution-oriented mindset


Preferred Background

Experience in one or more of the following:

  • Hospitality groups
  • Restaurant finance
  • Event operations
  • Catering operations
  • Venue management
  • Entertainment-related businesses
  • Multi-location operational finance


Ideal Candidate

You are someone who:

  • Thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments
  • Can roll up your sleeves and execute
  • Builds structure where needed
  • Understands hospitality operational complexity
  • Takes ownership and solves problems proactively
  • Can create financial systems that scale with growth

Why This Role Stands Out

This is an opportunity to join a well-established organization entering a major growth phase and play a key leadership role in building the financial infrastructure that supports future expansion.

If you are a hands-on Controller with strong hospitality finance expertise and a passion for building systems that drive growth, we’d love to hear from you.
